Rev. Dr. N. Porter who has so recently 
(Oei. illli), been inaugurated Presided of 
Yale College. Another, Rev. Dr. E. D. 
Saunders, who has just founded the Presby¬ 
terian Hospital in Philadelphia. The other 
is Rev. L. L. Lftngslrplh of Oxford, Ohio, 
the great naturalist., who has made the 
knowledge of the bee so practical by his in¬ 
ventions as to revolutionize the whole sys¬ 
tem ol bee culture, adding yearly, especially

A brave little woman, naiued Vinnie Beam,

considerable noLoriety through the agency

formally invited by the Board of Managers 
of Liie American Institute t.omakein public, 
in the hall of the exhibition, a bust of the 
venerable Peter Cooper, who had consented 
to sit two hours per day for the purpose. 
Shrinking from the publicity at first she de¬ 
clined, hut finally reconsidered her decision, 
inasmuch as envious and unmanly (though 
not women) artists nad more than intimated 
that she did not and could not do the work 
she professed was hers. Accordingly she 
has moulded a bust of Peter Cooper ami of 
the Rev. Dr. Deems of the Church of the 
Strangers, in the presence of the public, 
where all could see each movement of her 
hand and her manipulation of the clay into 
the form of her distinguished models. It 
was a brave thing for a woman to attempt, 
and a triumph to succeed as she has done.

Permanent Cure of Gravel of Twelve Years’

Burnside. Conn.. Dec. 15,1801. 
l)It. Helm hold —Dear Sir: It is with much pleas¬ 
ure Hint I write you upon facts respecting myself. 1 
do not know hardly how to express inysnlf. I have 
been for the last ton or twelve years the greatest 
uofferer man could bo and live, hat more sometluies 
than oliters. The complaint was the “Kidneys'' 
mill “ Bladder." I have been sometimes H um twelve 
to fourteen hours mid wanted t « make water every 
minute, but could not. Have coli.-niUeil doctors both 
In Massachusetts and this State,and taken pills, 1 
may say, by the quart, ills ' liquor.-d medicines ; hut 
found no relief from any, and got worse the last six 
months, l was so that! could scarcely get about . I 
oi.nihi not rest night or day. It would soon have been 
“all up" with me if l had not seen your advertise¬ 
ment In ihe Berkshire Courier, headed "Kidneys." 
I read It through, and thought I would try It. 1 pur¬ 
chased a bottle; but, mind yon, l had not much faith 
in it. Why should i, whoa l hud been trying so many 
things and cost me so much '! 
Well, before 1 had taken the first bottle I telt bad : 
but l finished It add got another. By tlie time I look 
half of the second 1 got still worse (apparently.) 
When l walked it seemed as If my right kidney was 
falling from its place, and I made up my mind it was 
of no use trying any more. And all tins time the 
" Buellu" was doing Its work, hut 1 did not know it; 
so 1 gave It up, ami went to Hartford, on Saturday, 
to one of the best doctors in the city. He said it 
was the neck of the bladder, and I should hare to 
undergo ad operation, llegnveme medicine, and I 
went home quite down-hearted. On Sunday 1 was 
unable to go to church. 1 had not taken of li is medi¬ 
cine, but on my return continued using tho “ Uu- 
ohu;" and in the afternoon 1 hud a desire to make 
water.hot could not. About one hour after this I 
tried again, with the snine result; but the next time 
I took the vessel it was the Samoa* turning a faucet 
and stopping It off again. It was so tar three times, 
nntljlhe third lime there was someth ing came through 
the passage and struck against the side of the ves¬ 
sel. I examined it, and it is the ugliest stone or 
gravel you ever saw. covered over with little pieces 
which collected together. It looks tho color of a 
mud turtle, and m as hard as flint. So you see the 
'* Buchu" was doing Its work, dll hough t was feeling 
so badly. I procured another bottle, thinking there 
might be some more behind; but since that line 
passed, which Js eight weeks ago Iasi Sunday, 1 nave 
been as well as ever 1 was In my life. 1 have Ihe 
Rlone securely wrapped, and Boise who lmvo seen It 
In tills place are surprised. 1 cannot tell you all; but 
tliis is a true story of my case, and you are welcome 
to make such use of my name as you think proper, 
lam pretty well known in Berkshire, alBo iu Con¬ 
necticut, The advertisement saved me. Why not 
publish more ? The Springfield Republican is a wide 
spread paper. If any one wishes to see this wonder, 
they can do »o. I could write ail day, but I think I 
have said enough this time; so 1 remain your ever 
well wiBher, Edward L. Howard,

Philadelphia, Pa., June 25, 1867. 
'll T. Hklmboi.I 1, Druggist—ILar Sir: I have been 
a sufferer for upward of 20 years with gravel, blad¬ 
der and kidney affections, during which time 1 have 
used various medical preparations, and been under 
the treatment Of the mom eminent physicians, ex¬ 
periencing but little rulior. 
Having seen your preparation extensively adver¬ 
tised, I consulted my family physician In regard to 
using your Extract Buchu. 
I did this because I had used all kinds of advertised 
remedies, and had found thorn worthless, nnd some 
quite Injurious; In fact, I despaired of ever getting 
well, and determined to mm no remedies hereafter, 
unless I knew of tho Ingredients. It was this that 
prompted me to use your remedy. As you advertised 
that it was composed of buchu. CUboba and juniper- 
berries, it occurred to me and my physician as an ex¬ 
cellent combination; and with his advice, ufler an 
examination ul tlm matter, and consulting 
with the druggist, 1 concluded to try It. I com¬ 
menced to use It about eight months ago, at which 
Hm* I was confined to my room. 
From the first bottle I was astonished and gratified 
nt. the beneficial effect,and after using itthree weeks 
was able to walk out* 1 felt much like writing to you 
u full statement of my omteuttim time; butthonght 
my Improvement might be only temporary, and 
therefore concluded to defer, and see if It would ef- 
fectitporfecd cure, knowing that It would be of great- 
er value to you and more satisfactory to me. 
I am now able to rep a t that a euro Is effected, after 
using tho remedy for fivo months. 
I have not used any now for three months, und 
feel as well, ill nil respects, as I ever did. 
Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant taste 
nnd odor, n nice tonic and tnvlgorafor of (lie system, 
1 do not mean to be without It whenever occasion 
may require its use on such occasions.

nent. physicians, and trying nearly all the best 
advertised reniedios. In the vain hope of find¬ 
ing relief from aggravated kidney und blud- 
tler diseases from which i have suffered exces¬ 
sively for many years, good fortune finally sug¬ 
gested to me HKLMBQLD’S BUCHU, which 1 com¬ 
menced using with tittle faith ami no apparent beue- 
llcial result for about a month. At the expiration of 
that lime, however, I thought 1 commenced to ex¬ 
perience slight relief, which encouraged me to per¬ 
severe in its use. Now, at the expiration of four 
months, although 1 am an infirm old man, nearly 78 
years of age. and consequently medicines cannot be 
expected to favorably affect me as they otherwise 
would, I have found such unspeakable relief and 
permanent benefit from Mr. llelmhold's valuable

Kent C’uro of Diabetes of n Lady.—Fifty 
Dollars a Bottle. 
New York, Feb. 6, I860. 
Dear Dr. HblmbOLD— Dear Sir:— For the past 
ight months I have been suffering from diabetes. I 
hnvo consulted several of our leading physicians- 
but have failed to receive tbeslighest benefit from 
their costly medicines. 
Four months ago I saw your advertisement In tho 
Herald. I was persuaded by a friend who had been 
benefited by your world-renowned Buchu. i pur . 
chased a bottle, took rlit* contents and was so reliev¬ 
ed that I continued the used of It. The diabetes has 
entirely disappeared, after using it for three months 
I would give #50 a bottle, if I could not get it at any 
other price. 
I moRt earnestly recommend it to all those suffering 
from this disease. Sincerely yours, 
Anna e. Stoughton,

Fluid Extract Buchu one of the best medicines for

tirely cured by the use of six.

Cure of a Case of Gravel of Nine Years’ 
Standing. 
Philadelphia, Girard House, April 19,1866. 
Dr. Helmbold Dear Sir: Having suffered with 
gravel for upward of nine years, and not obtaining 
any relief from the various physicians In my section, 
I visited Philadelphia lor tho purpose of having an 
Operation performed some leu or elv -on weeks since; 
but. on my arrival, I saw your advertisement In the 
Ledger, and 1 determined to try it first, having a 
great aversion to the operation, 1 purchased three 
tiotrie*. although at the time I hud little faith in 
medicine in Iny ease, Imt hoping it might relieve my 
suffering. 1 soon found my pain decrease, and felt 
much more comfortable. I ilicn purelianed one 
dozen bottles. I Continued to use It, and at the ex¬ 
piration of four weeks I noticed a deposit in my 
chamber, and upon inspection I found tills to be 
gritty, und than determined to examine more 
closely; nnd to my surprise 1 found tills to bo 
small particles, larger than a pin's uead. I continued 
to use tho medicine, and have collectedn few of ibo 
same, which I inclose. I continued to pass t hem un¬ 
til within throe weeks. My water previous to using 
It wa* feverish, and a Sediment would form from it. 
Since that period it is much lighter, tho pain has 
ceased, and 1 am able to inform you that It is now of 
a natural color, and I have no pain, or Inflammation 
In any part of my body, and cun walk, ride, or rest, 
without any Inconvenience. 
I Shall leave for home to-morrow, und shall take a 
supply with ino,n* I intend using It for some lime, 
although I feel well now, und can candidly say that it 
has effected a cure when all other remedies and mod- 
ica) skill had failed. 
Feeling grateful Unit I was so fortunate as to find 
and you to prepare such an excellent medicine, be¬ 
lieve me, in the comprehensive sense of the word. 
Your friend, J. 3. Sanderson.

H. T. Helmbold — Dear Sir: in regard to tho 
question asked me as to my opinion about Buchu, 1 
would say I have seen and used every form of Bu* 
elm the powdered leaves, tho simple dOeOCtioll, 
tincture, fluid extracts—and 1 am not cognizant of 
any pi cpuialton of that plant at all equal to yours. 
Thirty years' experience ought, I think to give me 
the right to judge of Its merit,*, and, without preju¬ 
dice or partiality, I give yours precedence over all 
others. 
I have cured with It. and seen cured with it, more 
diseases of the Madder and kidneys than I have ever 
seen cured with auy other Buchu, or any other pro¬ 
prietary compound, of whatever name. 
Respectfully yours, etc., GEO. B. Keyseh, M. D.,
